YOUTH follows the turbulent lives of two teenage boys that run away from their small minded town in hopes of making it to California. Frank and River, two queer teens that fall for one another leave their troubled homes behind and drive untl they run out of gas. They soon come across other misfit teens, who welcome them into their group. The fun continues for this new gang of friends, as raging hormones are mixed with liquor and drugs. Soon tempers are flying and before they know it, they are being pursued by the cops. The madness continues, just when they think they have escaped with their lives - a cosmic blast changes these teens' lives forever!<\/span><\/p>\n

Well every good superhero story has to start somewhere, usually the individuals are formed out of some kind of tragedy and that is exactly what has happened to this group of misfits. Speaking of, there are many similarities between this story and that of the UK sitcom Misfits. Both groups of wayward teens were struck with unusual powers, neither of which knew how best to use them and instead went instead for personal gain. In the later half of this volume, we see the horrifying consequences when one such superpowered individual gets hammered and starts throwing punches at civilians.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This series is just filled with countless twists and turns, there is never a calm moment. Its as though you got the cast of the TV show Misfits and put them in charge of establishing the X-Men - but first they have to fund it all through any means necessary. These teens are more like anti-heroes and are much more akin to the likes of Deadpool's personality. Look out for yourself and only those in your immediate circle. This is far from the end of YOUTH, as there is already a Season Two being published, which I will also be reviewing.<\/span><\/p>\n

YOUTH was co created by author Curt Pires and illustrator Alex Diotto. Curt has had a very successful career as of late, as five out of his eight creator owned properties are now in development for TV and film, including YOUTH which has been licensed for Amazon Prime Video. The artwork is quite striking in a way that kind of reminds me of the rough sketches that are used for a storyboard during filming so everyone has an idea of how it will be shot. Some of the panels are quite crude at times, especially when it comes to facial expressions but it still manages to get the point & emotions across to the reader. This series doesn't need to rely on pretty drawings and perfect outlines, the story is more than enough to carry this through. Where it excels is in the scenarios it depicts, the chaos, car chases, drug filled parties and the horny teens making out. It is honestly a wild ride for a comic and its no surprise that it has been picked up for a live action series.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

YOUTH is a modern coming of age series that follows a bunch of misfit teens that have been forgotten both by society and their families. We follow their lives as they go from parties, to drugs, alcohol and car chases. Only for them to be struck down by a cosmic power that totals their van but leaves them with unimaginable powers.<\/span><\/p>\n

YOUTH Volume 1 is available to buy in physical print from Dark Horse Comics and online through comiXology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall: <\/strong>9\/10<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Whose family history involves dark encounters with bloodthirsty vampires and working with the Borough of Churches, in their mission to save the World from evil. Charlie begins to uncover her past and the dealings her family has had with this organisation of religious knights, as she herself recites her eventful & unique life story.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\nNow this certainly is an interesting read, and I do look forward to the full story when it gets published. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the preview copy, which introduced me to Charlie Swanson and her story. Charlie is the narrator of this comic, and is clearly in a very different place in her life from where the comic begins. A very promising start, to what I hope will be a very well received series.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nWe first meet Charlie Swanson, by name in the opening pages. As she leaves her signature on the bottom of a document, welcoming a new recruit (the reader) into the Borough of Churches organisation. With a quick introduction to what the Borough is and its foundations, as well as her own family connection to it. At the end of the letter, you will see that Charlie has signed as the Head of the Borough of Churches. So clearly a lot has happened since Charlie left the police force. As to what exactly happened to her career and ideal family life is yet to be fully explored upon. This can all be made possible, if people donate towards its publication. As a Kickstarter campaign will be starting this weekend, aiming towards getting this published. More on that to follow down below.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nVampires, Demons, Hunters and iconic killing techniques, such as stakes and holy water all feature within this short preview to the series. It has already grabbed my attention and I will personally be following the KickStarter when it gets going. With swords and ancestors sending vampire heads flying, and a gun, where if you whisper the name of a person to it, the bullet will always find its target. The action is clearly evident, and in just a teaser, I want to know what else the creators are holding in store for us.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nBorough of Churches<\/em> is created by Writer Adam Cheal. Aside from being a craft beer brewer, he is also a comic book writer. His works include the Redemption Heights<\/em>, Toxic Storm<\/em> and Terminus at Fenton\u2019s Green<\/em> comics. In this latest venture, Adam is accompanied by bestselling illustrator Amrit Birdi. Many of you may recall his name, as I have reviewed several of his works before, including Joe Sugg\u2019s Username<\/em>:Evie series and F2\u2019s Galaxy of Football<\/em>.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Kickstarter is launching at 6pm GMT \/ 1pm EST \/ <\/span>10AM PST on Sunday 11th March 2018. Kickstarter link is not available at time of writing, but keep an eye on the twitter links below for more updates.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nAdam Cheal:<\/span> <\/strong>twitter.com\/adamcheal<\/a>\r\nAmrit Birdi:<\/span><\/strong> twitter.com\/Amrit_Birdi<\/a>\r\nVixen Ninetails:<\/span><\/strong> twitter.com\/MaryNinetails<\/a>\r\nComicBuzz<\/strong>:<\/span> twitter.com\/_comicbuzz<\/a>\r\n\r\nIf that wasn\u2019t enough to get you excited about the comic, then here is the link to read the same preview as I did. For FREE! http:\/\/bit.ly\/boc-teaser<\/a><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/a><\/span>\r\n\r\nNow a few words from the creators:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cWe\u2019re not looking to break everyone\u2019s banks or rule the world with our funding requirement of \u00a32750.00 for an 80-page (68 pages of story) softback graphic novel, which is modest by comparison. The most important thing for us is to get this book made.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nThere are even talks of stretch goals if the Kickstarter gains enough interest, which I know it will!<\/span>\r\n\r\nI will hold off on giving a final score of the series, until I read the full comic. But everyone, it looks incredibly promising! It has already made its way to the top of my list! So get on Twitter, follow the accounts and keep your notifications on!<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Borough of Churches: The Beginning - Kickstarter","post_excerpt":"Full of action, horror and comedy","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"borough-of-churches-the-beginning-kickstarter","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-09-16 15:45:25","post_modified_gmt":"2018-09-16 15:45:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=194826","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_22"};
